2U quick set-up checklist
The Model 6276 Mid-plane & Chassis can be easily configured according to your system requirements. Due to
the broad application possibilities, the following checklist is provided as a quick set-up guideline.
1.
Connect frame ground/signal ground (FG/SG)
—You may opt to connect the FG/SG for EMC consider-
ations and noise reduction, via power lugs, located at the rear, right-side of the backplane. This is an
optional configuration that is not recommended for most users; the factory default is “no connect”.
2.
Assign shelf address
—For multi-shelf systems, each sub-rack bus segment can be assigned a shelf address
via the S1 header, located at the rear, left-side of the backplane.
3.
Install 2U chassis on rack
—the chassis front mounting flanges should be securely fastened to the rack
with screws.
4.
Install power supply modules
—For N+1 power operation, install up to two Patton power supply modules
at the front of the chassis.
5.
Install cards
—Plug the system application card(s) in the 6U slot(s) at the front of the 2U chassis. Plug
alarm card in the left-hand slot at the back of the chassis, and plug transition cards in remaining slots, if
needed.
6.
Wire rear panel for power.
The interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for external use
and shall be rated for the proper application with respect to volt-
age, current, anticipated temperature, flammability, and
mechanical serviceability.
Due to possible injuries to people and severe damage to objects caused by
electric shock, always wire for power as the last step.
